Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Tribulation of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, Tempering the Holy Body with 100,000 Thunder Tribulations, Breaking Through to the Late Stage of Divine Bridge Realm
Jun Xiaoyao, at the mere age of ten, has reached the Ninth Heaven of the True Spirit Realm, enough to astonish the four directions.
But now, witnessing Jun Xiaoyao’s aura rising once more, the whole crowd is dumbfounded, gaping in amazement.
Is he about to break through again?
"This is bad, could it be the tribulation of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body?" Jun Zhantian looks up at the sky, where dark clouds roll, and his brows furrow.
Ordinary cultivators do not face any tribulation when breaking through from the True Spirit Realm to the Divine Bridge Realm.
But the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body is different.
This physique is rejected by the heavens, besides being inherently shackled by ten chains.
Every time the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body crosses a significant realm, the heavens would punish it.
And the transition from the True Spirit Realm to the Divine Bridge Realm is such a leap.
Upon seeing this scene, not only Jun Zhantian but the other guests also took notice.
"Could it be, the tribulation of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body?"
"Indeed, it is rumored that the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body faces heavenly tribulations with every major realm advancement. This puts the Jun Family’s Divine Son in trouble."
To cultivators, the most dreadful thing is crossing tribulations.
Carelessness can lead to death, and success or failure turns to empty.
And for the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, the tribulations it attracts are even stronger than ordinary ones.
Average Celestial Prodiges may not even withstand a single strike.
"Carefree one, do not worry, grandfather and others will protect you!"
Jun Zhantian and a group of clan elders step forward, exuding the aura of a Saint Realm Great Power.
In the past, there have been forces attempting to nurture the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
And every time the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body crosses a tribulation, a group of powerful figures would protect and assist in overcoming it.
However, Jun Xiaoyao’s celestial and exquisite appearance remains calm like water, his gaze unwavering.
"Grandfather, it’s not necessary, just a mere tribulation, not worth mentioning, let your grandson handle it alone..."
Upon hearing Jun Xiaoyao’s words, Jun Zhantian and the others are stunned.
Countless cultivators around him also go rigid in expression.
At that moment, the thunder tribulation finally transforms into a stream of lightning and descends!
The terrifying power of the tribulation sends chills down the spine!
Jun Xiaoyao stands in the void, his black hair like satin, flowing with divine radiance, gently swaying in the wind.
Dressed in white as snow, with a fluttering hem, like an exiled immortal ready to ride the wind away.
Jun Xiaoyao lifts one hand, and the Hell Furnace manifests once more.
The lightning stream crashes directly into the Hell Furnace.
Suddenly, Jun Xiaoyao’s body trembles.
Golden blood boils within him, and a golden illusion of an Ancient Divine Elephant abruptly emerges, accompanied by an overwhelming power to suppress heaven and earth!
Its trunk rises and inhales, drawing the rolling thunder into Jun Xiaoyao’s body.
"A hundred thousand thunder tribulations, forge my immortal sacred body!"
Jun Xiaoyao not only isn’t afraid of the thunder tribulation but uses it as a means to temper the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
Rumble!
Thunder continuously crashes down but fails to harm Jun Xiaoyao, only capable of forcing him back.
"This... he’s practically a monster..." Individuals from various forces are left speechless, unable to utter a word.
Which Celestial Pride doesn’t tremble in fear of falling while crossing tribulations?
But Jun Xiaoyao treats the tribulation as nourishment, forging his body.
"Ah, it seems I’ve underestimated Carefree..." Jun Zhantian and the clan elders shake their heads with bitter smiles.
Sometimes Jun Xiaoyao’s talent causes even these Saint Realm Great Powers to feel their Dao hearts collapsing.
If even they feel this way, the sentiments of the young Celestial Prides invited to the banquet are naturally imagined.
"I feel I’ll never catch up to the Jun Family’s Divine Son..."
"Indeed, this era of contention seems like it’s solely the stage of the Jun Family’s Divine Son..."
Some top-tier Celestial Prides of major forces speak, their Dao hearts beginning to crack.
Ultimately, the thunder tribulation is powerless against Jun Xiaoyao.
"Disperse for me!"
Jun Xiaoyao pushes out with his palm, the Ancient Divine Elephant illusion roars to the heavens, the thunder rolls back into the firmament, and the debris of black tribulation clouds shatter!
Heaven and earth restore to brightness.
And Jun Xiaoyao’s harvest is also gratifying.
Firstly, his cultivation broke through to the Divine Bridge Realm, not only that, but he directly advanced to the Late Stage of the Divine Bridge Realm.
The Divine Bridge Realm is divided into early, mid, late, and Great Perfection stages.
Reaching Great Perfection means the divine bridge within is successfully built.
Next is the Unity Realm, where spirit and flesh merge harmoniously into one.
Afterwards, one seeks various Dao Seeds and Immortal Seeds to integrate within oneself, termed Harmonization.
After Harmonization is the Nirvana Realm, seeking fire seeds and baptizing the brain’s Divine Palace, allowing the True Spirit to metamorphosis into the Primordial Spirit.
Post Nirvana, strength skyrockets, reaching the Heaven-Reaching Realm.
Finally, it’s the ignition of Divine Fire, opening the stairway to the Saint Realm.
Divine Bridge, Unity, Harmonization, Nirvana, Heaven-Reaching, Divine Fire!
This is the cultivation realm for the Mid Stage.
And above this is the level of the Saint Realm.
Jun Xiaoyao, at merely ten years old, has reached the Late Stage of the Divine Bridge Realm, which is absolutely demonic.
Typically, Celestial Prides of his age are still lingering between the Divine Palace Realm and the True Spirit Realm.
The former Long Haotian only barely stepped into the Divine Bridge Realm by relying on Dragon Essence Power.
Besides the realms, Jun Xiaoyao, leveraging the Thunder Tribulation Power and Dragon Yuan Energy, awakened another ten thousand Giant Elephant Particles within him.
This means Jun Xiaoyao’s flesh body strength has reached a mighty five billion pounds!
This is simply terrifying!
An average Celestial Pride’s flesh body strength, at best, amounts to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Even those top-tier Celestial Prides max out at a few million to ten million pounds.
Jun Xiaoyao possesses a formidable five billion pounds of divine power.
Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao notices his Supreme Bone within his chest also absorbing the power of tribulation and Dragon Essence.
"It seems Heaven’s Tribulation Light isn’t the complete form of this divine technique; I’ll need to find ways to nourish this bone more in the future." Jun Xiaoyao muses.
The Supreme Bone, like the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, possesses infinite potential and will always accompany Jun Xiaoyao.
But likewise, these two special constitutions require plenty of heavenly materials and earthly treasures for nourishment.
They are essentially two bottomless pits.
"It’s fortunate I was born into an Ancient Desolate Family, if born into a small family, resources would be scarce, let alone cultivation."
Jun Xiaoyao can’t help but sigh again; birth truly is an art.
"Oh right, I forgot there’s still the flesh of a Quasi-Supreme Venerable." Jun Xiaoyao thinks.
"Come, Brother Xiaoyao, eat dragon meat!" Jiang Luoli, with a graceful and intelligent aura, her snowy forehead gleaming with wisdom, is observant of Jun Xiaoyao.
At this moment, she brings over a plate of grilled dragon meat, presenting it to Jun Xiaoyao, blinking her sparkling eyes with a look of obedience.
"Thank you." Jun Xiaoyao nods lightly.
The way he eats is even more composed and elegant than Jiang Luoli.
One must admit the life essence in the dragon meat of Quasi-Venerable level is astonishing, his chest’s Supreme Bone also fiercely absorbs it.
Jun Xiaoyao also eagerly anticipates the day his Supreme Bone transforms.
Merely Heaven’s Tribulation Light’s power is mighty as it is.
If it transforms again, how powerful could his Supreme Bone become?
"After the Ten-Year Banquet registration, next is the Primordial Heaven Venerable Secret Treasure registration, it seems it’s time to start preparing afterward." Jun Xiaoyao thinks.
The registration rewards are truly abundant, Great Success of the Ancient Wild Sacred Body, Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Strength, Supreme Bone, all greatly benefit him.
Jun Xiaoyao is curious about what rewards he’ll acquire when registering in the Primordial Heaven Venerable Secret Realm?
"And there’s Xiao Chen, wondering if he still holds any value for me to harvest." Jun Xiaoyao thinks.
After the ten-year banquet, Jun Xiaoyao can finally enter the Immortal Realm.
He eagerly looks forward to this vast and boundless Immortal Realm.
"He’s hoping this era of contention won’t bore me too much..." Jun Xiaoyao stands with hands behind his back, gazing at the sky and sighs.
Feeling somewhat like the loneliness of invincibility.
